Local music legend Phil Wright found dead: report

Former 5FM metal DJ Phil Wright has died, according to reports on social media.

Marq Vas's Southern African Music Collectibles first posted a photo of the former DJ, with the caption: “It’s with utmost deepest regret that within the last hour I have been informed of the passing of my “brother” PHIL WRIGHT - - Phil was found dead in his home this morning, from what we believe at this point in time – from natural causes… Words fail me…RIP MY BROTHER!”

Oppikoppi Festival posted on their Facebook page “Oppikoppi legend Phil Wright has crossed over to the larger herd. We will meet you there Phil, and watch out for the snakes so long.”

According to his own online biography, until doing sound engineering for Radio RSA, all Wright had wanted to do was become a vet or a game ranger and he owned many reptiles.

After working at Capital Radio, he got out of radio completely and worked for a special effects company, but missed radio terribly and got into 5FM or Radio 5, as it was known back then, where he got the nickname 'Metalhead' from fellow DJ Barney Simon.

When 5FM changed its strategy, Wright worked at the Transvaal Snake Park, which has since closed down.

Many messages of grief have been pouring in on social networks, with friends and fans remembering Wright fondly.

Woodstock SA said on Facebook: “RIP Phil Wright :'( South Africa lost a true legend! It was a big honor to share the stage with U! U will be missed but never forgotten!”
